The Great Mystery: Myths of Native America

145 pp. | Clarion | September, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-395-98405-X $$25.00
(4) YA An introduction explaining the importance of Native American mythology is followed by individual chapters that retell and analyze the myths of specific regions, such as the Plains, the Northwest, and the Arctic. Although creation myths and sacred stories are the central focus, the text grows somewhat unwieldy as less fundamental tales are included. Archival images by masters such as Edward Curtis invigorate the book. Bib., ind.
